The crime rate at the main University Park Campus is higher than that of the smaller Health Sciences Campus because of differences in student populations and ages,

"There is no such thing as a safe place...but (HSC) is one of the safest places crime statistics-wise," said DPS Officer Wyman Thomas, who is also a crime prevention specialist.
DPS Lt. Joseph White, stationed at HSC, said he attributes the discrepancy to the differences in student age and lifestyles.
"We don't have the same type
have at University Park," White said. "The students here are a lot older. They have already been through the undergraduate experience — wild socializing. They know how to have a good time...in a mature manner."
For example, White said there are no alconol-related crimes at HSC, while there were five liquor law violations on the main campus in 1996. _ "We have parties and social functions and just don't have problems," he said.
DPS Deputy Chief Bob Taylor, stationed at UPC, said he agrees that the student population is a contributing factor but also said, "those outgrowths of socializing are (a) normal way to experience life and are not unique to USC," he said. "(They are) found at college campuses across the United States."
Taylor also said that age does not necessarily translate to certain crimes. Other factors, such as the student resident population and campus location, also

Jeremy Kocal, a junior majoring in English, said many people have misconceptions about crime at USC.
"I think there are a lot of stereotypes from people (who come from) out of town," he said. "(The campus) is very safe if you use your brain."
Only 80 students live at HSC, compared to the 2,500 students on tne main campus. An additional 3,000 students live near UPC in university-owned housing. The higher crime statistics at UPC are a result of its larger population, Taylor said.
"The same crimes occur, but in different volumes," Taylor said.
The different campus locations is another contributing factor. HSC is somewhat isolated, being surrounded by medical facilities,

whereas UPC is located in a more commercial area, Taylor said.
"The campus environments are very different.. (but) when a crime occurs...there's no difference," Taylor said. DPS is the second-largest campus police operation in the United States, serving both HSC and UPC, with approximately 80 armed officers, 90 unarmed community service officers and 80 unarmed student offioere.
Of those, 12 armed officers and about 25 unarmed community service officers are assigned to the HSC, White said. HSC, which is divided into two areas, has a minimum of two on-duty armed officers at a time.
UPC is divided into four patrol areas that have a minimum of four armed officers at a

Over $1 million has been raised since 1994 through the Good Neighbors Campaign, which uses contributions from university employees for the United Way and Neighborhood Outreach programs.
Last Friday marked the end of the 1997 campaign. This annual fundraising drive aims to raise about $425,000, which is a 9 percent increase in donations from last year.
Last vear's campaign raised $390,079 through 3,048 pledges. The exact amount of money raised this year will not be known until January Donations, which can be automatically deducted fmm paychecks, can also be designated to other non-profit organizations through United Way, but the main emphasis of the program is focused on the local area, said Rose Washington, director of special projects The money raised for this organization funds programs designed to enhance tne quality of life in tne neighborhoods surrounding the University Park and Health Sciences campuses Last year 85 percent of tne funds went to Neighborhood Outreach, Washington said. The remaining funds were raised for the United Way.
An advantage to giving to Neighborhood Outreach is that "the university covers administrative expenses so that 100 percent of every dollar is used for programming," Washington said. This benefit does not exist with some other charitable organizations whose administrative expenses are deducted from the donations.

New artwork to honor those blacklisted in '40s
By Judy Lin
Staff Writer
Seventeen blacklisted writers, directors and producers hammered stakes in front of Fisher Gallery Monday morning, dedicating the site of a future sculpture commemorating the 50th anniversary of Congressional hearings blacklisting many in the Hollywood film industry.
The blacklist project was founded in 1988 by USC faculty members in the School of Cinema-Television to ensure that the lessons of blacklisting would not be lost, said Margaret Mehring, project founder and former director of tne Filmic Writing Program.
The sculpture will be a well that plays recordings from the Congressional near-ings and will be surrounded by marble benches with inscriptions related to freedom of speech, said Howard Fox, First Amendment/Blacklist Project committee member.
The committee hopes to erect the sculpture next year. Currently, a stone sculpture by Woods Davy rests on the proposed site, but the artist has agreed to move that sculpture, said Selma Holo, director of Fisher Gallery and committee member.
